Summary: The study found that the addition of Chlorella sp. can improve the quality of biofloc and the growth performance of freshwater prawn juveniles. Biofloc with Chlorella sp. had higher density, larger particle size, and higher protein content, leading to better growth of freshwater prawns.

Summary: Claywater can effectively substitute for algae as a turbidity agent in the feeding of larval sablefish, reducing costs and improving growth. Both gradual and sudden transitions from greenwater to claywater had different impacts on feeding rates and body weights, but resulted in higher body weight and biomass by the end of the larval period. Transitioning at day 8 minimized algae costs, while transitioning at day 18 maximized biomass, offering potential benefits for sablefish aquaculture.

Summary: The fasting/cyclic refeeding effect on freshwater prawn post larvae was evaluated over a period of 75 days in both biofloc and clear water cultures. The results showed that the prawns in biofloc culture had higher growth and enzymatic activity compared to those in clear water culture. The study confirmed the beneficial effects of biofloc technology on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, and prawn health during short fasting periods.

Summary: This study compared the transcriptome of Litopenaeus vannamei Zoea larvae and adults infected by Vibrio parahaemolyticus using high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The results showed that pathways involved in the innate immune response were more enriched in the Zoea stage compared to the adult stage, suggesting the existence of innate immunity against Vibrio vulnificus during the Zoea larvae stage. These findings provide useful information for the study of innate immunity in shrimp larvae.

Summary: This study demonstrates that a salinity of 15 PSU improves survival, production economics, and protein content of M. rosenbergii. It is likely linked with greater zooplankton abundance in the biofloc-based system.

Summary: The study found that co-feeding early P. fridmani larvae with rotifers and copepods, along with the use of greenwater containing a high concentration of algal cells (> 2.27 x 106 NAN cells/mL), can enhance larval survival, growth, and development. However, when the algal cell density falls below this threshold, using such a co-feeding strategy may compromise the survival of P. fridmani larvae.

Summary: This paper aims to identify the distribution patterns of crustacean larvae on the Amazon continental shelf, focusing on the taxa Anomura, Axiidea, and Gebiidea. The study found that environmental variables, such as the Amazon plume and the Great Amazon Reef System, play a key role in determining the dispersal patterns, abundance, and diversity of decapod larvae.

Summary: Dungeness crabs are valuable, but their populations are threatened by ocean acidification and other climate change related factors. This study investigates the use of micro-computed tomography (mu CT) to detect variations in the density of Dungeness megalopae exoskeletons and their relationship to environmental variables. The results suggest that differences in exoskeleton density can be explained by minimum pH during the zoea-megalope molt. The study also highlights the importance of carryover effects and extreme events on exoskeleton integrity.

Summary: The digestive system structure of pre-zoea and zoea I larvae of the red king crab has been examined. The study found that the digestive system consists of an esophagus, a stomach, a midgut, and a hindgut. The hepatopancreas is divided into anterior and posterior lobes, and changes in the midgut include an increase in mitochondria and the formation of a peritrophic membrane.

Summary: The effect of low water pH on the feeding, growth, and development of Macrobrachium rosenbergii early life stages was examined. The larvae were highly sensitive to acidic pH, with no survival beyond 48 hours of exposure. Mild-acidic pH exposure adversely affected the feeding, survival, and growth of the larvae compared to neutral pH.

Summary: Early life stages of Macrobrachium rosenbergii are highly sensitive to low water pH, with acidic conditions adversely affecting feeding, survival, and growth. Periodic pH monitoring is crucial to mitigate the negative impact of decreased pH on the development of M. rosenbergii larvae.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) of combined total ammonia and nitrite for two species of prawns, and to determine their safety levels. The study found that the Amazonian freshwater prawn was more sensitive to the combined effect of total ammonia and nitrite, while the Rosenbergii freshwater prawn was more resistant.

Summary: Genetic analysis of the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia in Fiji revealed mild declines in genetic diversity, with some ponds showing signs of reduced effective population size and allelic diversity. Management practices and potential wild interbreeding were identified as factors influencing genetic structure and relatedness within the broodstock nucleus. Regular genetic monitoring and evaluation of performance are recommended to preserve valuable genetic diversity in the long term.
